Read MoreWho needs the FCC? Seattle writes its own broadband privacy rule
May 04, 8:21PM
Hardly anyone was pleased by the rollback of the broadband privacy rule last month, opening up the possibility of ISPs collecting and selling your browsing data — including, as it turns out, cities whose citizens were left out in the cold. Seattle wasted no time taking matters into their own hands, and the result is a local rule that provides a few of the repealed one’s critical… Read MoreWorst quarter for paid TV subscriptions points to a cord cutting future

Read MoreNintendo and the limits of nostalgia
May 04, 6:10PM
Can the world stand another Link adventure? Can it throw another blue shell? Hit the Rainbow Road for another lap? Catch ’em all again? If you’re a Nintendo exec I suspect you’re starting to think that the venerated company is now brushing against the limits of nostalgia and that something – something big – is about to give. Thankfully the company is poised to… Read MoreThese 11 technologies want to hack your brains
May 04, 6:05PM
Picture a day where you flip through your memories like you would Facebook or Instagram, or you get a chip sewn into your brain to help you learn languages twice as fast and communicate your thoughts in an instant to millions of people.

Qualcomm hopes that the ITC could rule on the issue sooner than… Read MoreReport: Smartphone owners are using 9 apps per day, 30 per month

May 04, 4:45PM
FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn has a lot of issues on her regulatory plate, some given marquee billing (the repeal of the commission’s Broadband Privacy Rule) and others lurking in the wings for years (unfair practices in prison inmate calling systems).
